Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $1,210,938 of the $1,500,935 with a category attached, or 80.7%. Globus Medical accounts for 99.8% of it on its own, with 13 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $382,707 and has fallen 96.8% since, to $12,312 in 2025. Among neurological surgery clinicians in NV with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
